“Paramedics responded to the Moorton Shopping Centre, where a Metro policeman had been knocked down by a taxi. Paramedics arrived on the scene to find the seriously injured officer lying on the roadway. Paramedics worked to stabilise the policeman believed to be in his thirties on the scene, who had sustained multiple injuries before he was rushed to a nearby hospital for the further urgent care that he required.
